Ava is now 6 months old and doing great.  She is in the 80th percentile for both height and weight and meeting all of the standard milestones for her age and then some.  She is still super alert and focused- it cracks us up how often people remark on this.  She will just stare directly into the eyes of whoever she comes into contact with.  Ava also remains a very happy, smiley baby.  We feel so lucky!

The holidays were good- very quiet.  Ava loved meeting Santa though, which you can see for yourself in one of the more recent photos.  I am such a sucker I actually bought the DVD of me bringing her to Santa’s lap and cooing and squealing at her- generally making an ass of myself.  Speaking of…I met Hillary Clinton recently and blathered all over her about Ava and how I had coughed up the money for the event (yes, I said “coughed up” to her) so that I could tell her how I had supported the first female President of the United States.

We brought Ava to the Zoo not too long ago which was a big success.  She loves to people watch and loves the attention she gets from strangers (because she’s so adorable ).  The animals held absolutely zero interest for her.

Nothing else to report other than we are thinking of actually buying a house here given current market conditions and interest rates.  While I would still like to ultimately raise Ava in Marin, it looks like we might be here for awhile.

Oh- and thanks so much to everyone who has sent in comments for Ava’s baby book!  They are all going in (some of you guys are so hilarious) so keep them coming.
Love,
Bonnie
